There are issues with this laptop and APIC. Try this: in /etc/lilo.conf add to your append= noapic it may look like this append="devfs=mount quiet noapic"
This will resolve quite a few of the laptop issues. Unfortunately, it will not resolve the problem associated with suspend to ram crash/reboot if using a pcmcia network (lan) card.
